Karate’ness
Twas a wee bit of a rush in all honesty, as my Saturday class in Irthlingborough didn’t finish until just after 12noon and we had to be in Nottingham by 1.30pm to sign in! If anyone asks how we managed to do 80 miles in less than an hour and a half, just tell them we stuck to the speed limit of 70mph; admittedly the fast version of 70mph rather than the slow version… Officer!
It’s always a thrill to be in a hall with so many people all moving in unison to the count and being taught by the founder of our particular brand of karate. It’s also somewhat cool to see Kancho, who’s in his 60′s, manage to beat a various age range of 2nd Dan Black Belts in Kumite one after the other. ”VERY cool” as my youngest crowed after the Seminar.. I just hope I can be that nimble at that age!
Next up is another tournament in Birmingham, on 6th June, complete with the boys (their first) which should be fun. Pics and postings will be forthcoming.
